More than 40 people have overdosed in a Connecticut park on a drug suspected of being laced with Opiates, Police say.

 

Police arrested a man on Wednesday who is suspected of being connected to some of the drugs that caused the overdoses, NBC News Connecticut reported.

Officials believe the individuals may have taken doses of K2, a synthetic drug marketed as being similar to marijuana.

 

There have been no fatalities reported over the incident, but some of the individuals are in critical condition, officials say.
